OUR STORY

In January 2011, Jana sat with her grandmother baking biscuits to send to the protestors they watched on TV. Nearby, Egyptian women protested a regime that had oppressed them throughout history. At 8-years-old, Jana vowed to uncover what she knew each girl possessed: a vision and a voice. 

An activist, community mobilizer, and avid speaker, Jana would soon realize there were few spaces that actively centered and uplifted the voices of young women like herself. BIPOC young women, young women from the global south, and young women of various religious and ethnic backgrounds were very rarely invited to the table.

Determined to change that, Jana founded J Strategy, to connect young women with the speaking platforms they deserve.

Through her own public speaking and narrative crafting expertise as a two time TEDx speaker, a UN panelist, and an award-winning orator, Jana has seen first-hand how public speaking is an invaluable tool for social change.

She hopes you’ll join her and J Strategy on their mission to help girls around the world amplify their voices, maximizing their reach and impact.
